servere tiredness

just wonderd would this be a liver issue?
I can sleep for 12 hours and still be tired,   even after a 12 hour sleep i find it hard to stay awake for more that 8 hours.

I would also mention that ive had loads tests done over the last few months. i LOST 2.5 stone in about 12 days, gong from 19 stone to into the 16s, i got a muscley build. The weight loss was in JUNE 2009, it followed by server stomach pain which put me in A n E a couple of occasions. Ive also had lot of Bright Red bleeding on my stool and all over the tissue.

Since the server weight loss ive gained 1.5 stone back, but its came back more onto my belly (fat). The bleeding has stopped now, not had any at all for about 1 month.
The stomach pain is not as constant but it is still there,
My stools are very loose and im going about 3/4 times a day.Ive noticed that my stools are alot thinner than normal

The tests ive had are

Sigmoidoscopy ----- A little inflammed but results normal
Camera Down throat -- Hiutus hernia    apart from that normal
Barium meal -- normal
Barim Enema-- Normal
Chest Xray -- normal
Stomach xray --normal
Full abdominal Ultrasound -- Normal

                                         3rd ALT 77   b/rubin 22
                          But          4th all results was in normal range   ALT 40  B/rubin 17

I would have a long discussion with your doc voicing all your concerns.  As HCA above mentioned Chronic Fatigue and Fibromylagia can cause similar symptoms.

I have symptoms similar to yours and all my bloodwork and imaging to date have come back normal.  I have had three docs tell me they believe I have Fibromylgia.  I don't know that I agree but I am thankful that my test are normal.  I figure if there is something going on inside me that isn't showing up that I have an opportunity to try to eliminate it early on with a very healthy diet and taking care of myself properly.

Don't discount your symptoms but take special care to make sure you are doing everything for you.

Take care!
